gets its turn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>July 23, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you feel it&#8217;s time to get your cowboy on, the Kumbia Brain Drain Trivia Night is probably the best place to do it.<\/p>\n<p>The popular annual event will be held at Kumbia Hall from 6:30pm on Saturday night, August 5.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s theme is &#8220;The Old West&#8221;, and guests are encouraged to dress up in their best cowboy attire to be in the running for some great prizes.<\/p>\n<p>Brain Drain organising committee member Beck Cross said tables were selling fast, but there is still room to lasso one for people who act fast.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We only have a handful of tables left,&#8221; Beck said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re $120 for a team of six, and it&#8217;s always a great night out&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Funds raised from the event are used by the Kumbia State School P&amp;C to support initiatives at the school.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Previous projects funded by the Brain Drain have included air-conditioning classrooms, supplementing school camps, purchasing educational technology and installing play equipment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We would also like to acknowledge our many sponsors who donate cash and the prizes we raffle on the night&#8221;, Ms Cross said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This year we have had overwhelming support from both local and national organisations&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are really grateful for that&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>To be part of the Wild West fun, grab a team nomination form from Kate Curtain by phoning 0407-262-262 or <a
